OUR NEED FOR SEED
Shaping the future together. Assumption of responsibility. With a clear attitude and values as established in our Code of Conduct. That is our mission. As everything is interconnected, we have defined four fields of action based on the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals within which we can exercise special influence – for a society economically, ecologically and socially worth living in. Our abbreviation for more sustainability: we set a clear signal with SEED.
Social Employer
Our employees are the be-all and end-all of our success. Therefore, we are more than happy to invest in attractive and secure workplaces. Thus, we remain a modern employer and home to the cleverest brains in the sector. What does that actually mean? Fair remuneration models, equal opportunities, unlimited term employment, tested work safety and health protection. Flexible working hours help to reconcile private life and work.
Ethical Governance
Since our foundation, we have placed value on ethically responsible management. Independent and transparent supervisory structures secure our customers’ and employees’ trust and integrity. From data protection via supply chain care and sustainable purchasing to regular training of our managers – our decisions and actions should not only be legally correct but also morally acceptable and in the best interests of all concerned.
Environmental Responsibility
Everything is nothing without our environment. We are aware of our significance. We wish to and must make our contribution: with the direct reduction of emissions and by establishing digital processes throughout the company. Moreover, we are involved in organisations and associations in order to strengthen the influence of our action above and beyond the limits of the company.
Developing Tomorrow
Our involvement in future-oriented industries, which is firmly anchored in the corporate strategy, supports the innovations which enable achievement of the sustainability goals and therefore a world worth living in tomorrow. Further training and supporting the employees also favour the competence and diversity in MINT vocations. In order to develop the future, we are increasingly involved in forward-looking projects for our customers.
Sustainable action means: setting clear targets and following them.
We take the 17 defined sustainability targets from the UN Global Compact as a guide with their five core messages: human dignity, protection of the planet, prosperity for all, peace and global partnerships. Here, we focus on the fields where we can exercise direct influence – from health and education to humane work and climate protection. We commit ourselves passionately and competently to driving sustainable transformation forwards.
How we live and promote sustainability
Corporate Social Responsibility is concerned with fair business practices, employee-orientated staff policy, economical use of natural resources; protection of climate and environment, serious local involvement and responsibility also in the delivery chain. We act sustainably and responsibly. We measure and document our success.

Signed and sealed
We are interested in what others think about us: therefore we have registered on various platforms such as EcoVadis, CDP, IntegrityNext and NQC and have external audits carried out. We are particularly happy to have been awarded the EcoVadis silver medal. With it, we belong to the 15 percent of the top evaluated companies. This motivates us for continuous improvement.
